Digital daguerreotype #1
This photograph its from a serie of 4
The idea came from a photo i saw of the Countess de Castiglione, a italian courtesan who lived in the nineteenth century.
I talked with a friend about working together in this project. We started studying the history of the daguerreotype and observing different pictures of that era to have a reference of how the picture had to look alike.
Then having a base we went to a costume store, rented a dress and started right away with the photo sesion, we finished spending some more time in the post processing to give a antique and caracteristic look of the daguerreotypes to the picture.
We were so fascinated with the result that we decided to make more photographies.
